Existed

Before I met you,

Nothing else existed.

I was a character in a movie where no one realized I was even in it.

Days I spent sulking in the background as others shinned brighter and bigger.

Years I spent wondering how to become like the others whose light always shinned brighter.

Until the day came when I met you.

When you taught me what it was like to not just go through.

Life as it slipped away,

Memories as they faded away.

I met you.

And through you,

I existed.
